A month has passed since a black horned python brought everyone a breakthrough, and it is already midsummer in the blink of an eye.

Li Ye had already completed the transcription of two volumes of scriptures, one for the old wolf and one for the old ape. Both volumes are carefully wrapped in two layers of animal skin.

When watching the old ape take the scriptures with trembling hands, Li Ye was a little reluctant.

Completing the transcription of the scriptures means that he will leave the Tianshan Mountains at any time, and from then on, he will have to be separated from the old ape and the old wolf, and if he can't survive the nine tribulations in this life, it means that it will be difficult for the four of them to get together again.

Li Ye said softly: "There is a complete volume of the Jizo Sutra on the stone wall in the cave, here is a complete volume of the Lotus Sutra, the predecessors can pass them on to the descendants, but remember not to take them with them to survive the tribulation?"

The old ape was puzzled and asked, "Why can't you take it with you to survive the catastrophe?"

Li Ye shook his head and sighed, "How smart was the original Void Breaking Monk, why didn't he take these scriptures with him to survive the tribulation? According to him, all the items you brought with you may be turned into ashes in the Ascension. ”

The old ape was stunned for a long time, sighed, and muttered: "Dust to dust, dust to earth, everything in this world really can't be taken there." Looks like the old wolf and I are going to spend the robbery naked?"

"That's not absolute, you can bring some gold and silver, this should be able to be used there, otherwise you won't be beggars for a while when you go there?" Li Ye said with a smile.

"This is okay, he seems to have said this when I asked Mr. last time, don't worry, Mr. gave me the news of the previous tribulation and ascension to Bai Susu, saying that I went with the old wolf over there and could stay with her for a few days temporarily, and life would not be a problem. ”

The old ape looked at him and said with a smile.

"That's fine, I'm afraid that you will not be familiar with the place where you go there, and you will have to endure a lot of hardships before you can settle down. With Mr. Bai there, it will be much easier for you when you first go. ”

Li Ye remembered Bai Susu's long-haired demeanor, and couldn't help but stay for a while.

The old ape put the scriptures wrapped in animal skins on the table, held the teacup, and looked out of the cliff.

Said softly: "Whether it is Bai Susu, or me and the old wolf, I have to thank you and your husband, if it is not for you, not to mention whether we can survive the catastrophe or not, it is even if we have successfully ascended, and it is extremely difficult to go to another world." ”

Li Ye looked at him and smiled faintly and said, "Maybe this is our fate for each other." ”

"One more thing, how do you feel about seeing you practice swords with your left hand recently?"

"It's okay, although I don't have my right hand to make it smooth, but I gradually found a little wayway. ”

"Except for Xiaobai who knows about this, don't let others know about it when you go back, and don't make it out easily. ”

The old ape looked at him and said seriously.

"That's what I thought, too. Li Ye smiled faintly.

"It's not easy to walk in the world, and it's always right to leave something to save your life. The old ape frowned, as if he saw Li Ye's future.

"After you follow Mr. to practice in the world, it is inevitable that you will face many things alone, and Mr. can't always be by your side to protect you, now leave some hole cards for yourself, or you can save your life when it is critical. ”

The path of the old ape's heart path cultivation is so difficult to get rid of, in case of danger, having a means to save one's life is the most important thing.

Li Ye looked at him and replied seriously: "I will remember the words of my predecessors, and I will not easily let people know my hole cards." ”

"Remember that only a genius who can survive on the path of cultivation can be considered a genius, and those who die halfway are all waste. ”

The old ape raised his eyes to the sky and whispered, as if he was educating his grandson.

Li Ye nodded calmly, thinking about what the old ape said, and thinking about not practicing the left-handed sword in front of others after going back.

After pondering for a long time, he replied: "After experiencing all the dangers on the Tianshan Mountain, I feel that I am very afraid of death, so I will try to keep myself alive, no matter what method I use. ”

From the day he climbed the Baizhang stone wall with Xiaobai on his back, Li Ye secretly told himself that he must not risk his life in the future.

If he accidentally stumbled that day, Xiaobai and himself would not be able to escape death. and then quenched in the ice pool later, and almost froze to death.

He felt that he had been practicing with his own life.

Although the realm is broken and broken, as long as any of these processes go wrong, then the outcome will be changed after that, so Li Ye decided not to fight hard from now on.

The sky outside the cliffs is bluer than in spring, and the mountain breeze is not as cold as the spring breeze.

Everything seems to have never changed, and everything has changed inadvertently.

Cicadas with wings are already chirping softly in the trees, accompanied by the scenery of wildflowers quietly blooming all over the mountains.

Li Ye looked at the scenery outside the cliff, and his body was a little stiff.

Only then did I think that I hadn't bowed my head to copy the scriptures recently, but I had buried my head in sword practice and practiced hard, and I had long forgotten to experience the beautiful scenery on the Tianshan Mountains.

Just when he didn't know how to express his depressed mood to the old ape, there were two different footsteps on the stone path below the cliff, and it was the old wolf who taught Xiaobai a lesson while walking.

It seems that the old wolf's temper has become a little strange recently, and he will reprimand Xiaobai a few words at every turn, but for some reason Xiaobai doesn't talk back.

Just silently followed him, one after the other, and walked onto the rock floor.

"After you go down the mountain, you not only have to continue to practice, but also follow a few little girls under the mountain to learn to read and write together, the city is not as good as the Tianshan Mountain, and it is always impossible to have one strength alone!"

As he spoke, the old wolf walked into the shed with square steps.

Xiao Bai obediently followed, not daring to gasp loudly, only occasionally raised his head to look at the old ape and then at Li Ye, and then lay down next to the bamboo chair.

The old wolf took the towel handed by Li Ye and wiped the sweat off his forehead, pointed to the scroll wrapped in animal skin on the table, and said, "This is for me?"

The old ape gave him a blank look, carefully picked up the scroll and put it into his arms, knocked on the table and said, "You asked him for it, it's mine." ”

Li Ye ignored the quarrel between the two old men, turned around and took off the scroll wrapped in animal skin from the wooden frame and handed it to the old wolf, gently reminding: "The courtesy is gentle, it can be regarded as a thought." ”

After talking about what he had told the old ape before, he told the old wolf again.

The old wolf's smiling face suddenly darkened, and he said: "Such a good thing, you can't go there with me, and you have to cheap a little bastard on the mountain, I don't know if they will cherish it as much as me." ”

The old ape shook his head, looked at the angry old wolf with a smile, picked up a few melon seeds from the plate, and said, "This is called coming naked, going naked." ”

The old wolf held the scroll and said helplessly: "I'm just unwilling, what if I go there and have nothing?"

The old ape thought about it, and in a blink of an eye, he remembered that there was another Bai Susu, where was her, what should the two of them be afraid of?

At the moment, he said casually: "It's a big deal to start all over again, what are you afraid of?"

Xiao Bai, who was lying on the bamboo chair, had already covered his ears, and then he was snoring.

Li Ye poured a cup of tea for the old wolf, and said with a smile on the side: "Here and there, it's all cultivation, don't be obsessed with the outer way." ”

The old wolf looked down and thought about it, this sentence really made sense, and the word woke up the person in the dream.

The old ape turned his head to look at Li Ye and said, "Little sir, what are your plans after going down the mountain this time, you won't be entangled with a few little girls every day." ”

Li Ye was silent for a while, looked at the old ape and said, "I may stop practicing swordsmanship for a while, and I want to go to practice Buddhism with the old monk master of the Great Buddha Temple for a while." ”

The old ape and the old wolf blurted out and asked, "You are already so powerful, you still have to continue to practice the Dharma?"

Li Ye looked at the two of them, nodded with a smile, and said, "I have been practicing desperately all along, constantly thinking about practicing swordsmanship to perfection, and I have spent a lot of effort to break through the realm. ”

Seeing that the two did not speak, he continued.

"Although I am also reciting the scriptures and copying the scriptures, some of the truths are becoming more and more confused, and it seems that only the old monks and masters of the Big Buddha Temple can solve many of the truths that I don't understand. ”

The old ape nodded and replied, "Looking at your recent expression, I can understand it." ”

The old wolf picked up the teacup in front of him, sighed, and said: "These things I learned from the old ape are not helpful to your cultivation, I just hope that you can take Xiaobai to practice together after you go down the mountain, and don't work as hard as you do on the mountain." ”

Li Ye shook his head with a smile, poured hot tea for the two old men, looked at the sleeping Xiaobai, and said softly: "After I go down the mountain, I will hand Xiaobai over to Mr., and he will teach him the principles of cultivation." ”

The old wolf smiled and nodded, and replied, "If Mr. teaches him, I and the old ape will be relieved." I hope that you will practice well in this world, and one day we will be able to reunite again. ”

After being silent for a moment, Li Yedi smiled faintly, looked at Xiaobai lying on the bamboo and said, "Who can say clearly what will happen in the future, we are practicing here, you are practicing there, I hope you can all do well." ”

The three of them fell silent for a moment, and the room was much quieter, except for the cicadas outside the cliff.

As the only disciple of Mr. and a student of the old monk of the Great Buddha Temple, he got the inheritance of the monk of Fangcun Mountain by chance.

Li Ye was thinking about what scenery he would encounter on the way to the Central Regions and the Western Regions in the near future.

The old wolf and the old wolf thought about the little gentleman who had been together for a year in a blink of an eye, and the little grandson he recognized left Tianshan, and the two of them would soon have to go away from the catastrophe.

The old man, who no longer knows what parting is, also has some sorrow and parting at this time, which is really worrying.

The old ape in contemplation suddenly remembered something, looked at Li Ye and said: "Let you put the black horned python Neidan, you can refine, while I and the old man are here today, I can watch you." ”

"It's only been more than ten days, can you refine the Inner Dan? There won't be any accidents, right?" Li Ye looked at the old ape with some concern.

"What kind of accident can there be? At most, you can break through one or two more realms, didn't you say that you won't practice for the time being after you go down the mountain? This is just right, when you break through the realm on the mountain, and after you return to the city, you will slowly consolidate the realm while practicing the Dharma. The old ape said with a smile.

The old wolf nodded and said, "That's the truth, since you don't want to practice for the time being after you go down the mountain, you will refine the inner pill first." There are things to face later. ”

"Will you talk about it after dinner, or will you refine it now?" Li Ye looked at the old ape nervously.
